The ball is accelerating

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the graph represents the speed of the object represented.

Let's therefore calculate the slope (so, the speed of the ball) in the two intervals given.

In the first second, we have:

$\Delta y = 40 - 20 = 20 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_1 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s$

In the next second, we have:

$\Delta y = 80 - 40 = 40 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_2 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s$

We notice that the speed of the ball has increased from 20 m/s in the first second to 40 m/s in the next second: this means that the speed of the ball is increasing, and therefore, the ball is accelerating.

Consider the following three statements: For any electromagnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is a

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Statements (i) and (ii) are true.

Explanation:

Fisrt statement:

Electromagnetic radiation such as wave, wavelength λ and oscillation frequency ν are related by a constant, the speed of light. The equation is given by:

$c= \lambda \nu$

So the first statement is true.

Second statement:

$c=\lambda \nu\\c= 3.0 A \times 1.0\times 10^{18} Hz\\c= 3.0\times 10^{-10} m \times 1.0\times 10^{18} s^{-1}\\c=3\times 10^8 \frac{m}{s}$

The value of c in the vacuum is 3×10⁸ m/s. Hence, the second statement is true.

Third statement:

The speed of any electromagnetic radiation is constant regardless the type of radiation.

Hence, the third statement is false.

Ymorist [56]

This question is incomplete the complete question is

A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. (a) What is her highest point above the board? (b) How long a time are her feet in the air? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

(a) Xs=0.459m

(b) t=0.984 s

Explanation:

(a) To reach maximum distance

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}\\ Vf=0\\v_{b}^{2}=v_{a}^{2}+2gx_{s} \\ x_{s}=\frac{0-(3^{2} )}{-2*9.8}\\ x_{s}=0.459m$

(b) For Time

To find t we must find t1 and t2

t=t1+t2

For T1

$t_{1}=(Vb-Va)/g \\t_{1}=(0-3)/9.8\\t_{1}=0.306s$

For T2

$x_{l}=Vbt+(1/2)gt_{2}^{2}\\ as\\x_{l}=x_{1}+x_{s}\\x_{l}=1.8+0.459\\x_{l}=2.259\\so\\t_{2}=\frac{2.259*2}{9.8} \\t_{2}=0.6789s$

For Total Time

t=t1+t2

t=0.306+0.6789

t=0.984s

(c) To find Vc

Vc=Vb+gt2

Vc=(0)+(9.8)(0.6789)

Vc=6.65 m/s

A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m
